Mike Bassett: England Prime Minister

[JamesWales]

"I agree, the PM shouldn't have gone there, but that's where politics is at the moment, unfortunately, and whilst he may add to it and should know better, he didn't create this culture."

Jesus fuuck buddy... Are you being nuanced or trying to polish a turd?

So fuelling the fire for complete loopers to act impulsively and harass opposition is now seen as a legitimate strategy?

I know you're not personally endorsing thus behaviour but you don't seem to be condemning it either, more like a half soaked admission that perhaps it shouldn't have happened?

You are right in saying, the group who had a pop at Starmer are made up of a myriad of groups but they feel empowered to act as they do when a PM willingly repeats lies which they feel supports their cause and justifies their actions.

1 / No, he shouldnt have said it.
2/ I don't think the protestors abusing Starmer were motivated by what he said at all - they have form.
3 / He receives constant personal abuse. Many politicians are endlessly on the receipt of it. He didnt start that, and unless people condemn it all then they are tolerating it.

We need to remember that even someone like David Lammy doubled down on calling some Tory MPs 'Nazis'. It may not be nice for Starmer to be linked to a paedophile, but it's worse to be linked to a death cult from 70 years ago who threw children in gas chambers.

Thats my point, this stuff has been put out into the political discourse for several years now and I have to say the silence when it happens to one side is pretty notable.

David Lammy is just as bad as Boris with this dreadful comment sadly its part of the bigger problem of nasty politics.

You could argue Trump politics exists in both parties , if you point a finger at Boris and his language surely the same goes for this comment by Lammy comparing ERG Brexit group to Nazis and he backs it up with ‘not strong enough’ dear lord how does that sound to Jewish people whose relatives died at the hands of the Nazis in gas chambers and they get compared too Brexiteers , nasty ,nasty socialist comments up there with nasty Right wing politics .

What shocks me Lammy even after this comment Labour think fit to promote him , dear lord we say Tories are bankrupt .

Its sits with the fact anti-Semitism existed in the Labour Party equally a disgusting poor behaviour.
